Thompson Tract, Belt Line Road and Ledbetter Drive
This memorandum is in response to Mr. Gary Hendricks' traffic
concerns regarding the proposed Thompson Tract development.
His first concern was the impact of this site on traffic
operations at Belt Line and MacArthur. During the 5-6 PM Peak
hour, approximately 60~vehicles will enter the intersection as a
result of traffic generated by the site. 24 will be westbound
Vehicles an~36 will be eastbound. These volumes are minor and
will have a negligible effect on. the traffic operations at Belt
Line and MacArthur.
The second concern was the impact on traffic movements.on Belt
'Line .when train activity disrupts traffic into the site, A train
of apprOximately two minutes in duration will create a two~
vehicle queue~ in the eastbound left turning traffic and a'four
vehicle queue' ~in the westbound right turning ~traffiC. 'Since
aPproximately two vehicles will be able to store in the driVeway'
between the railrOad and Belt Line, such a queue on Belt Line
will be two vehicles in length.
~Mr. 'Hendricks' final concern was in reference to the railrOad's
right of way and how this affected the construction of
improvements on the Belt Line frontage. This is still
questionable and uncertain area because DART is the current owner
of the trackage and because of the probable difficulty'in
obtaining right of way.
Attached to this memorandum are six pieces for
your use:
1. 24-hour machine counts on Belt Line
2,~Existing PM peak hour counts at Belt Line and Ledbetter
3. Existing PM peak hour counts at Belt Line and MaCArthur
4. Proposed PM peak hour volumes at Belt Line and Ledbetter
5. Proposed PM peak hour volumes at Belt Line and MacArthur
6. Table of traffic generation characteriStics at the
proPosed site
